Listen Later

In this 42nd episode of The Skills Factory podcast, we explore the intersections of climate change, education, and gender equality with Bareen Haval, an activist and educator from the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

As 2024 is projected to be the warmest year on record, we dive into the urgent challenges posed by climate change and its impacts on education. How can regions grappling with conflict and displacement also address environmental sustainability?

- What role does education play in raising awareness about climate change, especially in regions where basic needs like water are a pressing concern?

- How are women in Kurdistan, who face unique cultural challenges, leading the fight against climate change?

- And, what are the broader implications of AI and technological advancements for education in regions facing such critical issues?

If you're interested in how education, gender, and climate action converge in one of the most complex regions of the world, this episode is a must-listen.
